We must know. We will know.



England, if they beat Argentina, have a solid chance at beating Spain actually.


@Deshpacito661 an American medical school grad is guaranteed to match somewhere, it's just a matter of where and what specialty.




The FIRE (financial independence retire early) movement has done an immense amount of harm to society This is coming from someone who used to be a believer in FIRE, but I have realized just how much of a fallacy it is, as I have grown older Taking a bunch of high potential income earners and convincing them that their life goal should be to pursue a net worth that allows them to check out of society is immensely damaging to the social fabric Many of these people sit on the upper echelon of office jobs, have built great businesses, or are at the top of their field in their career field They should be inspired to continue doing what they are best at, and ultimately, mentor and give back to the next generation who want to pursue those same goals Instead, many of these FIRE folks become wandering retirees with a meaningless life who are trying to grasp on to money as their north star It is a false sense of security and accomplishment. Becoming wealthy should never be a goal in the first place. It should have always been to pursue something that adds meaning to your own life and to society It is a completely fallacy to believe that retiring will be your source of happiness. More often than not, it has the complete opposite effect

@BarneyFlames @adityajakki The tunnel through the wildlife sanctuary is dumb and will cost way more than an elevated alignment there. Above ground would only take a tiny % of the land in the sanctuary, while saving a lot of money and helping it be built more quickly (So more environmental benefits from it)

Anti-Greek life attitudes from colleges in the 2000s onward is a good example of this. God forbid a bunch of young white guys who are about to staff out the professional class of the country in 2-4 years have a good time. It's all so tiresome.



يوتيوبر كوري يدعى سوهون كشف فضيحة كبيرة في بعض المطاعم اليابانية 🇯🇵 لم يتوقعها السياح الاجانب من بلد مثل اليابان: عندما ذهب لمطعم سوشي في اليابان مع صديقته اعطته النادلة مينو باللغة الانجليزية فطلبت منيو اللغة اليابانية وهنا ترددت النادلة كثيرا قبل اعطائهم وسألتهم هل تفهمون اللغة اليابانية؟ واتضح ان المنيو مختلف كثيرا في الاسعار القائمة اليابانية أرخص بكثير ويصل لنصف المبلغ والمطعم يتبع نظام منيو A (للمحليين) ومنيو B (للسياح) واعتبروها سرقة كبيرة للاجانب وان هذا بدأ ينتشر في مدن كبيرة مثل طوكيو واوسكا وكيتو وحتى المدن الصغيرة وبمجرد سماع لغتك يتم اعطائك المنيو المناسب واي لغة غير يابانية يتم تسليمك منيو B وهو استغلال لعدم معرفة السياح الاسعار الحقيقة

@101stGBcorps Marx was wrong in a lot of ways but one thing that Marx and communism (Not Indian obviously) got spot on is that rural peasantary has to be dragged into modernity by force , you have to forcefully industrialize these people , cannot let them hold the country to hostage

This is an amazing quote from Lindsey Graham about when he realized how politics works. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/07/…



India's trade deficit widened by 11 Bn $ in June. This was driven by a large spike in crude/petroleum and electronics imports (fertilizer import value up by 200% YoY!, but a smaller contributor overall). Petroleum and electronic imports alone account for 63% of the increase. Electronics and engineering exports going strong at ~20% YoY growth. But, we are nowhere close to being a net exporter of electronics. Electronic goods imports are ~3x of exports. This is a transition phase, and this trend will likely continue until ECMS plants come online. All data sourced from: pib.gov.in/PressReleasePa…


Chipotle is opening up its first location in Mexico bloomberg.com/news/articles/…



The most advanced technology in the world has progressive views and conservatives’ only takeaway from this is to get mad.
